The Power Of Superstition
Superstition is a confusion about something, but blindly believed. The meaning of superstition tends to be more 'blind to believe and to believe' without understanding. ” In fact, if you don't have scientific literacy, there will be a possibility of 'superstition. ' Even those who work in science, if they do not have scientific literacy, will have some kind of superstitious ideas such as witch doctors, fortune tellers, and superstitions. These are the opposites of scientific methods. Science is a formal logic and evidence. Superstition is unconditional acceptance, no questioning, no formal logic, no need for reliable evidence, and blind belief (people are easily superstitious on something).
Superstition is not really a big problem. In fact, superstition can help a lot of people. Superstition is also a belief. When people have belief, this behavior can help us to be more confident and more in control of their lives. When a person is told that an item will make them smarter or stronger then they are more confident when they have that item & it has been proven to actually help.
Due to the influence of superstition life is good, at the same time, there are also disadvantages. According to livesciene. com, “Despite having well-developed brains, complex technologies and centuries of scientific progress, the human species remains a fearful, superstitious lot. Some people are superstitious on superstition, while others believe or not, and some people will not believe it. ” Superstitions exist everywhere in the world. Every country has its own local superstitions, but each country has its own variation on common superstitions. Some of the most common superstitions are about cats, and death. Why black cats are considered bad luck? Superstitious about cat. All cats are spirituality, people with knowledge know that black cats do not represent bad luck.
In Egypt, black cats are gods in charge of death and can drive away evil spirits; in the UK, as long as black cats are willing to stop and let you touch your head, you can bring good luck, but the tail is the opposite.
The black cat is misunderstood because of its mystery. In fact, black cats represents counteract evil force.

So people will mistakenly think that it is unlucky to encounter black cats. This evidence was found in Chinese Website(there are many information about why black cats is misunderstand). I try to look up information about the black cat represents against evil in the google, but I didn’t find any. The fear of cats is passed down from history. The cats seen by people in ancient times are actually animals that look like cats, such as leopards and tigers.
According to the Myth & Legend, “Early man had a big problem with cats. Many of them were much larger in size than they are now. Plus, the big kitties had voracious carnivorous appetites and even snacked on the occasional human being. ” People see these carnivores that look like 'cats' will run away, so this fact has now undergone many changes and bblack cats became the primary target of negative superstitious beliefs. Therefore, superstition is blindly believed.
Superstition also called “magical thinking. ” Magical thinking describes an irrational belief in supernatural influences.
